Beginner's Resources

I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux and in my searching I found this post in the Ubuntu forums that's been very useful. It has links to lots of tutorials and PDFs mostly geared towards new users learning the command line.

What other resources would you recommend for a complete newbie like myself? Helpful programs, guides, tips and tricks? Anything you found particularly useful when you first started using Linux?

I myself am completely new to Linux. I almost have no experience whatsoever, but I am planning on buying a Linux when I have the complete knowledge on the topic. I recommend consulting some For Dummy's books beforehand so that you can at least have some knowledge.

Google is defiantly your friend when It comes to linux, because it is open source, people are very willing to share their secrets, I find that anyway. I agree with Remp the HowtoGeek is a great source for beginners.
